KEEPING YOU INFORMED IN SANTA MONICA

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed on April 2, 2021, that the City of Santa Monica would be the area of a new Supercharger location. The new Supercharger may include a 50’s Diner and clips from the 100 best movies of all time.

The idea is just one of many tremendous ideas set forth by Elon Musk. In typical Tesla fashion, the project will be anything but straightforward. The experience of owning a Tesla is unlike that of any other car brand, and because of the company’s different approach to attracting customers, there is no denying the fact that this could ultimately come to success in the future.

“This is the plan for the Santa Monica Supercharger site. Musk and Tesla have not confirmed whether this will ultimately be the site of the new facility. With that being said, it is likely that this will be the location of the Supercharger station that Musk talked about, as it is the only currently available plan on Santa Monica’s website.” (Klender, 2021, p.1)

It would be the world’s largest V3 Supercharger facility, with 62 total stalls being available for electric vehicles to recharge, along with their owners and passengers. Recently, the Supercharger project was approved but then was put on delay when the Los Angeles housing crisis took priority. However, Santa Monica City Council members decided that the location of the expected Supercharger location was not ultimately suitable for an affordable housing facility, which brought momentum back to Tesla’s proposed Supercharger lot.
